Reddit is a shithole

I remember I got into an argument on reddit awhile ago with a person over Italian food. It got to the point they were following me into other subs to harass me. I clicked on their profile to block them and their most recent post was them drinking their own piss on r/piss. At that moment I realized I had spent so much pointless time arguing about the taste of food with someone who drinks their own piss as a hobby. This site is a shit hole.

More than once I had someone being an arse to me on reddit, I took a gander at their profile to see what kind of fucko I was dealing with... and it was full of their nudes.

One time it was someone who lived in the same town as me.

Yeah... your insults and comebacks don't hit quite as hard now that I know you're desperate for people to see your vagina.

Wait, you think someone getting naked invalidates their argument?

What argument? I said insults and comebacks. You've tried very hard to miss the point.

Insults and comebacks are arguments. If I say you're a fucking moron because you don't understand basic argumentation and debate that is an argument. Choosing to dismiss an argument because the party delivering the argument is naked is a logical fallacy - there is no standard for argument.

Slight hints of misogyny? What's wrong with people showing off their bodies if they feel like it?

Siiiigh, would it help if I said penis? The last time this happened, it happened to be a woman.

And it's pretty obvious when someone starts shit with people on the Internet for no reason, then posts their uglies all over the net, that they've got a pretty juvenile issue with attention-seeking behaviour in general.

Quite a stretch, my guy.

And no, it would not have helped in the slightest. What people do on the internet is their business - if they feel like posting nudes, so be it. But that does not magically invalidate their opinion(s) in an argument, "juvenile" as they be.

This more so proves your "juveniless" (I hate even using this word) that you try to dig up non-existent dirt on people to crap on their opinions and statements.

Speaking of people who start shit for no reason, invent grievances, etc...

Scroll up, the last guy tried your latest tactic already. Insults and comebacks =/= arguments.

I responded. Feel free to disprove my thesis that you're a fucking moron.
